18. I don't like it - I think it's interesting
But not nearly as good as the original list. Frankly most people aren't ever going to get the opportunity to commit those sins, at least not on a dangerous level. The original list was seven traits were could all see in ourselves, they were challenges everybody had to overcome. A discussion of sin should end with "What do I need to do to overcome this sin?" I'd like to be in a position where I had to overcome the sin of "Overcoming Excessive Wealth," but I'm not, and most people aren't.

That said it is of course good that the Catholic church seems to be aware of those inequalities and injustices that characterize our days.
